Trouble with non-default constructors

Hi,

I have a class that needs a non-default constructor, the class is supposed
to look like this:

class MyClass
{
protected:
  int Value;
public:
    MyClass(int V);
  ~MyClass();
  void GetValue(){return Value);
};

But if I try to compile my compilers complains there's no default
constructor, but I don't want a default constructor (???)

To try and hack myself around this problem I do this:

class MyClass
{
protected:
  int Value;
public:
    MyClass(){} // Why can't I leave out this obsolete line of code?
    MyClass(int V);
  ~MyClass();
  void GetValue(){return Value);
};

Is there a better way to solve this?

And there's another problem, when I create a class that's derived from
MyClass, something like class MyChildClass : public MyClass, then I cannot
use the non-default constructor for that class becuase the compiler says it
does not exist (??). What am I doing wrong?
